Allow viewing sent campaigns

[wmnnd]

Currently, once an email is sent it’s no longer possible to view the campaign. It should be possible to still get a preview of the campaign after it was sent.

This will be very much appreciated and also opens the door for public HTML renderings behind a hard-guessable URL, which can be supplied with each message.

View this message in the browser.

There is already a static display of a campaign, which is possible to trigger with the preview button on the writing pane. This code path could probably be reused to generate a static rendering of a mailing.

In seperation from this, the details could be complete in so far that all available configuration and metadata of a mailing is surfaced to the users. This can be helpful debugging situations in which a mailing failed.

Additionally, it could probably be good to show the users that were unsubscribing from the mailings, in case one had another way to approaching them in another situation.

Adding my voice to this. In a recent demo with users we needed to check for mistakes and typos after sending a campaign and it wasn't possible.

Also adding to this. It would be great if there could be a "view in browser" feature on top of the email (and not just after it is sent out). This would let people who have very strict email blocking features turned on to read the post in their browser without images getting blocked and so on.

I have been doing this manually for a while now (after feedback from one of my readers) and hosting a html-version on my website, but it would be great to have this as an automatically feature.

Oh sorry, I totally forgot to update this issue here. I already added this feature a few weeks ago, you can now still see campaigns after you've sent them out. You can also create a link to share it online.

@Lislegaard The share link is currently deterministic (which might change in the future), but for now you could simply link to https://app.keila.io/archive/nmc_XXXX (you can get the XXX from the address bar when editing the campaign). Just make sure to enable the public link after you've sent the campaign.

Would it be possible to have the archive id as a variable?

Then you could have it in your template similar to how you can go "Hey [name of person]" you could go [Read in browser]([link to this newsletters archive link]) and it would just automatically work every time (as long as you remember to activate the link as soon as you send it out of course).
